This is a fully edited text arising from a major European Commission research project - Policy Scenarios for Sustainable Mobility (POSSUM). New material has also been commissioned to produce a valuable publication for all those concerned with transport and in particular for those involved with decision making and policy analysis. The book sets European transport policy in context and includes forces of change, transport trends, policy responses and impacts on sustainable development. The authors examine the prospects for bringing about change and how different policies might help to achieve...

This fully updated text describes the evolution of transport planning and provides a clear account of its strengths and weaknesses, what it has achieved, how it relates to actual policy decisions and where it is likely to go in the future.

An overview of the relationship between transport systems and the public policies that shape them, looking at influencing factors and examining transport in the urban, national and global context.

The environment and policies affecting it will remain major issues of concern in the 1990s. This book presents the current thinking from leading authorities worldwide on transport and the environment and focuses on the link between transport supply and use and environmental degradation.

There is currently considerable concern with limiting the growth of transport demand, the use of resources and related pollution. This book makes a major contribution to the debate on transport and the environment and is likely to become a benchmark against which new research will be developed. Transport Policy and the Environment presents for the first time the results of extensive research: *quantifying the contribution of transport to environmental problems. *assessing the options for resolving those problems. *investigating the conflicts arising from policy implementation....

A major concern of all decision makers has been to ensure that there are clear benefits from transport investment proposals. The travel time savings are clear, but the wider economic developments have presented enormous difficulty in terms of both theoretical arguments and empirical evidence. This book reviews the history of the debate and argues that the agenda has changed. These issues are presented together with a major analytical investigation of macro economic models, evaluation in transport and micro economic approaches. The final part of the book presents a series of case studies for...

Transport policy has dramatically changed over the last ten years with major regulatory reforms and privatisation of transport enterprises. Part 1 presents an authoritative statement of the theoretical arguments for and against regulatory reform, the changing political scene in North America and the different mechanisms that can be used to return state-owned monopolies to the private sector. Part 2 presents the empirical evidence on ten years of airline deregulation in the United States and this review is matched by an assessment of the different situation in Europe where national governments...

A major strategy to reduce transport congestion and other social costs of transport is to ensure that travellers make the best decisions, based on real time information. A wide range of technological systems have been developed to provide this information, but little is known about how travellers actually respond to it. This book offers an overview of various transport telematics options and provides an appropriate methodological framework, followed by a presentation of results from actual applications of these telematics systems from a range of European countries in various transport...
